Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers final injury report (Game 4, April 28, 2025) - Are Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro playing tonight?

The Miami Heat face a must-win situation in Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight at Kaseya Center. After a devastating 124-87 loss in Game 3, all eyes are on the injury status of Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro—the duo Miami desperately needs to avoid elimination.

The Heat’s official injury report confirms both Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro will play in Game 4. However, the team remains shorthanded with key absences:
- Terry Rozier: Out (ankle injury)
- Kevin Love: Out (personal reasons)
- Kyle Anderson: Questionable (illness)
Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro’s return provides a much-needed boost, but


Adebayo and Herro aren’t just starters—they’re the heartbeat of this Heat squad. Here’s how their contributions stack up this season:

Without them, Miami’s offense lacks firepower, and their defense loses versatility. Their presence alone forces Cleveland to adjust, but will it be enough?

The Heat’s postseason run has been an uphill battle:
- Regular season record: 37-45 (entered via play-in)
- Series deficit: 0-3 against Cavaliers
- Game 3 performance: Allowed 50% FG shooting, 43% from three
Key issues plaguing Miami:
- Defensive breakdowns
- Inconsistent ball movement
- Over-reliance on short-handed rotations
Coach Erik Spoelstra acknowledged the team’s struggles, emphasizing the need for better execution.

With Adebayo and Herro back, Miami has a fighting chance, but history isn’t on their side:
- No NBA team has ever come back from 0-3.
- The Cavaliers’ offense has been relentless.
- Miami’s role players must step up to support the stars.
Tonight’s game isn’t just about survival—it’s about proving Heat Culture still has fight left.
The bigger question: Can Miami’s defense rediscover its identity in time?
